625,000 gns yearling but sold for just £13,000 in November 2016. A half-brother to Izzi Top, Jazzi Top and Rock N Roll Ransom, his pedigree screams class, but clearly had plenty of issues, and makes his belated debut off top-weight in concession of many pounds to his younger rivals.
550,000 gns yearling, but unraced and sold for just £600 at Ascot in August 2016. Finished seventh of eight on debut at Windsor in April and a tough task on these terms.
Stablemate of Dance Rock, who was slowly into stride on debut and a well beaten last of nine at Chepstow twelve days ago.
85,000 gns yearling who has posted two reasonable if unspectacular runs in maidens to date. The latest effort came in a decent Newbury race (1m3f good to firm) won by Face The Facts, and this looks a shade easier.
Three solid enough starts as a juvenile (at around 1m) with the pick coming at Newbury in October (good to soft) when just over 2L third to Rosarno. Back from a break and up in trip with improvement anticipated in the first time blinkers.
Arch colt who cost $425,000 as a yearling. Made a solid start when just over 8L fourth to Oasis Charm at Leicester in April (1m2f good to firm) and steps up in trip tonight. However, next months Group 2 Queen's Vase entry appears optimistic.
200,000 gns Sea The Stars gelding who finished one place and 1L behind Mudajaj on debut at Leicester last month. Like that rival steps up in trip, and no great surprise should those placings be reversed.
Quite possibly has regressed from two to three, but was trying a much extended trip at Leicester latest. Not quite good enough to get off the mark just yet (and a mark of 78 might flatter), but claims on his narrow second to Omeros at Chelmsford in October.
Third behind two smart fillies on Newmarket debut (7F) including Prix Marcel Boussac winner Wuheida, but arguably not progressed quite as well as expected since. Interesting to see how she handles this step up in trip as she's never raced beyond 1m2f so far.

Sufi (3/1), Beach Break (4/1), Nathania (9/2), Park Paddocks (9/2), Mudajaj (9/2), Akamanto (7/1), Tapdancealltheway (10/1), Dance Rock (50/1), Morning Sequel (80/1), Nazzaa (100/1)
A fairly open maiden in which Nathania boasts the single strongest piece of form, but that debut effort came over 7F and she tries this trip of 1m3F plus for the first time tonight. Sufi sets a fairly solid benchmark in terms of ratings, but it would be no great surprise to see a less exposed rival improve more. This brings both Mudajaj and Park Paddocks into contention (closely matched on their Leicester clash), but a chance is taken on the Richard Hannon trained AKAMANTO. This race looks a shade easier than the Newbury maiden he tackled last month, and whilst he has work to do with Nathania on their clash at Lingfield in April, his odds should reflect that fact and he's a value based speculative selection.
- Akamanto
- Park Paddocks
- Sufi
